Seeking $1,244 to get out of $150 overdraft, give my roommate about a month to find a new roommate, pay my rent balance, phone bill & put my possessions into storage. Even if you don't have the means to help financially, spreading the word is a big boost!

if you're one person making a comic by yourself, don't treat yourself like you should function on the same level as comics that have multiple people working on them. your backgrounds can be squiggles and colors.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

in case I need to say it more bluntly:
demanding comfort from fiction and its creators, as if it is a right you are entitled to, is white supremacy
being allergic to discomfort will only stifle you, keep your mind closed, which is what these fascist want from you

I think people misunderstand that IT IS OKAY if a book makes you UNCOMFORTABLE, sometimes that is the author's intent, but what YOU DO with those feelings as the reader is YOUR responsibility, not an author's, and which is why using that discomfort as a crux to mortality police makes you a dick

I call it “joyful rigor” when I explain this effort to my students. I don’t believe in or rather, I’m not a “suffering poet.” I’m a writer who enjoys writing. The work works on me and I’m grateful for the opportunity to delve into the process at my own pace and to be changed by it.
That’s the other thing that baffles me about AI and creative writing, actually.
The work IS the joy for me. I don’t want to be able to snap my fingers and have a completed “product.” I want to be transformed by the process. I’m an author but I do this because I enjoy the rigor of being a writer.

In terms of process, I enjoy writing but revising????? Oh, that’s my real kink. A second or third draft???? A fourth???? Making tweaks on my desktop AND my phone???? *moans* I’m a WHORE for revision.

The face melting tragedy of this all is Warner Bros just had its first great record breaking year in a long time with big risks like Sinners, Weapons, and One Battle After Another… And the result is to try and sell it off? It’d be so nice if people who owned companies that made movies loved movies.
the AT&T-->Time Warner-->Discovery series of media mergers were some of the most pointless and disastrous business exercises ever conceived by man
so of course we're going to do it again
this time it's rumored they want $60 billion to sell this mess to Larry Ellison and whatever's left of CBS
